While 2014 was an overall dry growing season, a small amount of rain in late February provided just enough soil moisture for the early growing season. A warm spring and summer led to small clusters and berries, resulting in highly concentrated flavors giving this wine vivid and enticing aromas of Bing cherry, raspberry and pomegranate with a touch of rose petal. The palate is flavorful with layers of dark fruit, spice and forest floor, with well-integrated tannins, supported by bright acidity.  Great to drink now or lay down for several years.
